I know i have another thread but its changed. My galaxy nexus is gsm and my brother accidentally flashed verizon stock on it. Now my nexus can only go in download mode and fastboot mode. I have tried flashing stock using odin and fastboot however it goes back to the google logo and just stays till it dies. I also cant access recovery mode because it goes to the google logo. 30 dollars reward thanks
Boot to the bootloader (Fastboot/Download) and give us the information on the bottom. Also give us the link to whatever you're trying to flash. I'll dig up the return-to-stock thread and see if I can't walk you through it. Gotta save that Nexus!
Also it'd be easier if you got on IRC. You can find a lot of us (including me) on irc.freenode.net in the channel #gn so stop on by!
Here's a link if you've never been there: http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=gn&uio=d4
Wug's Toolkit???
have you tried Wug's Toolkit???
I've bricked mine for the same reason for flashing a GSM rom alpha state on a LTE Nexus.
All I had to do was hit the restore button. And it was fixed in ten minutes. I was able to save my data thanks to dropbox. Cuz I just so happened to back up my data there a lot by saving my recovery back ups
But your case is different. Use wug's toolkit and ATTEMPT to save your data by using the backup feature. MAYBE u can still recover your apps. Maybe you broke your CWMR and damaged the system.res or something. So just flash stock+Unroot. As long as you can fast boot I think you can fix it like me.
Give it a try if you have not done this yet. And let me know how it out. =p
Hope it works for u just as well as it did for me.

could you gimmie alink for that toolkit
Unbrickable
Also you can't truly brick a Nexus device. ESPECIALLY a GSM variant.
So you can fix this. I'll try to find another way just in case this way fails. but also there is a tool on the right side of the panel do the Wug's Toolkit panel. Never actually used them, but maybe it can make your phone work again without even having to flash stock+Unroot.
But again I'll try to find a another method of how this can be fixed. Hopefully someone has a tool to fix this.

Sorry. XDA won't let me post a link. =/
Since I just registered and all but don't worry I'm experienced with this stuff.
Just type Wug's toolkit v1.3 Galaxy Nexus and it should be on Android Central
. Hope this saves ur $400-$600 google device. =p
Know how u feel on this.
---------- Post added at 05:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:25 AM ----------
This should work because I just read the website and it says that if you flash stock+unroot it should unbrick your device. And maybe an OEM lock is required but your a GSM variant so I dunno since u came out of the factory unlocked.
If you were to fix your Nexus Device u don't have to do your $30 reward.
1. I'm 16. =p
2. Don't have a way of receiving money except by mail, which is a big hassle of nonsense.
3. Just wanted to help since I know how u feel.

I have a brand new Defy, barely a month old. And since i found it so easy to mess around with my Milestone i went right ahead and tried to flash a new custom rom into my "barely out of the box" Defy.
After flashing the new rom my phone wouldn't start at all!! I freaked!!
Theere it lay, totally dark and blank screen with the white led on and only the comp and RSD Lite being able to detect the phone in the bootloader mode. Volume Up/Down w/ Power didn't do anything! Nor did anything else!
After a whole day of frantic thread searching and googling, i still couldn't find any answer! I could see that people actually returned their phones or just gave up!
Finally, i started to serach for the original rom that came with my phone but even after hours of searching i couldn't find a single copy of it! Just before i gave up, in one last attempt i found the only copy of my original rom and i flashed it and it worked!!
So if all else fails, please keep a note of your exact rom version and flash it back to unbrick your phone.
Hope this helps someone out there who freaked out the same way i did..

sorry i am a little new to forums. yes my phone is rooted and i dont believe i downloaded a custom recovery partiton. to be honest im not to sure what that is... thanks for trying to help buddy.
Ok... By your answers then I know you kinda screwed, but not quite dead... what happens exactly is that you removed the main launcher, the interface between you and the device... if you say that it reboots, not much we can do here be cause we may push a launcher APK to /system/app (generally, there is where the "system apps" are located) and see if phone lives again, but as it is rebooting not sure if it can be done... Have critical info in the phone? If not, you can restore it to factory state!
Here is a external guide to restore the device back to factory state: http://www.lg-phones.org/how-to-downgrade-lg-optimus-c-back-to-stock.html
Additionally, you can check some other info in this post (not quite your case but sometimes other problems have some clues to resolve main problem): http://www.cricketusers.com/cricket...tboot-mode-started-udc_start-3.html#post12007

---------- Post added at 06:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:51 PM ----------
Damn, no fastboot mode (at least you can't boot into it)...
Anyways, there is nothing worst than haven't tried at all... Do you have the Android SDK installed? Check http://developer.android.com and install the SDK; also download a custom recovery from here: http://unleashedprepaids.com/media/MS690/recovery.img... Once done that, remove battery from phone, replace it, in a command prompt (or terminal if using Linux), write this command "adb shell", just write it, don't press enter yet. Connect the phone to the PC and turn the phone on, while booting, press enter to the command and follow the guide here: http://playfuldroidz.com/wiki/index.php?title=CM74OC#How_to_Install_ClockworkMod_Recovery: as fast as you can (copy/paste preferably)... if everything went well, now you have a custom recovery and you can backup the mess the phone is at right now (BACKUP, really, do it)... download and install any new custom rom and you are good to go...
Let me know how it went...
thanks so much havent tried yet but that route sounds like it might work. i am a little confused in some areas but after i read it over and over i will comprehend it a little more. i will follow step by step and let you know how it turned out. again thanks buddy. you brought some light into this dark matter.

I can boot into recovery, but can't do much else without being able to use adb

No. Sorry, I believe it is just Cwm that allows usb storage in recovery.(I could be wrong) As stated above, install the drivers to try to fix adb if that fails then you may need to take a look at this. Good Luck:good:

I tried that "[Guide] Unroot/Unbrick - flash official factory firmware with LG Launcher"
It seems to see the phone, and all, but when it goes to download the firmware from LG, it just hangs, reading the posts there, looks like others have it hang at the same place mine did...
I think I am just SOL, till someone figures out how to make a tool that will fix this...
I am sure I am not the only one that will accidently wipe everything leaving it in a state where you don't have a rom to flash back on it...
so I am sure someone will make something soon...
till then will just have to go back to my old phone.
Thanks.
I would assume you need to try to get fastboot working, but I have never tried to get into the G2's bootloader. But you'll get ADB - Fastboot working, you will, you just need to keep trying. Try someone else's computer if you have to.

well ****. I'm going to try the method listed in that thread but I don't know if it's going to work. Nothing seems to identify my phone properly. The LG mobile support tool recognizes it as "testdevice" and when I try updating recovey through the program it hangs once it says "downloading files". I'll post anything I can find as soon as I find anything. Please do the same. I just bought this phone yesterday and already managed to f it up.

You should be able to, as long as you can get adb to see it, you are good, you can even just adb push a rom over to the "NON" SDCard... and then just flash from TWRP...
The main problem we have is that without a SDCard that you can take out and put a rom on, we are stuck.

Just read the info in the links - thanks for posting about your success. Good to know there's a way out if I get into the same situation flashing a ROM on my G2.
So I went to far with modding, I didn't know when to stop, but now I do.
I have ROM toolbox (pro) and i started modding my phone like crazy, changing boot animations, icons and so on then i decided to change my framework (big mistake) But i still did it anyways all though it said use with extreme caution and i didn't think anything about it so i still did it and I made a backup it said it needed to reboot for it to work so I rebooted it turned on and everything slid the unlock slide and drew the unlock pattern and it froze and after about 5 seconds it restarted, i can do anything but unlock it and make an emergency call, when i tap emergency call it doesn't do anything not even restart, I have USB Debugging on and my backup of the framework is on my SD card, anything else you need just comment and i will tell you
All you have to do is go into recovery and restore a backup. You should still be able to get into recovery.

You can still flash back to stock... If you have the ftf for your model. You will lose what you have but you can always redo the edits you have made.

Only if you had a nandroid backup in recovery... There is a cwm installer for locked bootloaders. I used it for a while when I first got this phone. But that's the only way unless you manually push the old framework back into it then set permissions

One last thing, how can i do this, sorry, but if you tell me and it works i will thank every post you made on this thread
What's up guys! Resident tech guru here in desperate need of your assistance. I finally got the chance to see my friend again after he'd been going through some personal issues and was devastated to find out that he was not at all happy with his Samsung S2. I ,of course, chimed in and told him all about xda dev and the awesome things you guys do everyday. So now he wants me to flash a new rom onto his device that will make his phone seem brand new. The problem is that his phone is on Simple Mobile and I don't know if I can just flash any rom and still be able to connect to his carrier's network.
1. I guess what I need is a link on how exactly to flash a t989 (I think I found this but not sure if the instructions I found are still relevant) in 2014.
2. Which rom is the most current and compatible with simple mobile.(Not having too much luck on my own)
3. Is there anything I can do after the flash to make sure that his info will be sync'd back to his phone correctly?
4. How can I backup the current state of his phone just to make sure that I have a safety net?
1. If you have a t989....any ROM here will work. Just may need to debloat some stuff with titanium backup.
2. All will work. What's best is up to the user. Everyone has a different opinion....no point in asking.
3. Bad idea. Restoring system apps or data is a big no no. User apps and data you could use titanium backup. Transfer the back up folder to PC to be sure it doesn't get wiped. Then back to phone after. Have to be rooted before and after tho.
4. Root first, flash custom recovery and do a nandroid backup. Then continue. Just don't erase internal SD, or its gone.
Good luck!
---------- Post added at 02:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:22 PM ----------
There's no guarantees any of his info will be saved tho. Transfer pics and important things to PC first to be safe.
thanks KJ, i figured that the process would be straight forward I really just wanted to be sure that i could reconnect to simple mobile's network afterwards.
